On Friday I did something that I’d never done before – I bought a Special Edition set of stamps at the Post Office!
The series is British Design Classics.
There are ten designs – the Spitfire, mini skirt, Mini (car!), anglepoise lamp, Concorde, the K2 telephone kiosk, Robin Day’s polypropylene chair, Penguin book covers, the London Underground map and the Routemaster bus.
My local Post Office didn’t have any special presentation packs left, so I simply have a sheet of ten first class stamps.
I don’t quite know what to do with them now! They look so lovely all together on their little perforated page that I’m quite reluctant to separate them. And I’m certainly not going to use them to send a letter!
Having said that, I am quite tempted to buy or make some interesting envelopes, and use the stamps to post ten letters to myself…
I’d like to try something along the lines of Harriet Russell’s Envelopes
